Thursday Rockpile: Dex an unknown, but a good one
There are going to be stories every Spring that you just can't predict very easily. Jeff Francis' bum shoulder would be a powerful case in point on the negative end of that risk spectrum. Given the experience of last season, if news was going to come out about Francis this winter, it was more than...

Link Roundup: Pedro Goes to Florida; Brewers Go to Playoffs
-P- Congratulations to the Brewers, who made the playoffs for the first time since 1982.

Link Roundup: 9/11/08
-P- Just noticed that Baseball Prospectus's Playoff Odds Report now predicts the Pirates will win 67 games. They're remarkably consistent: last year they won 68 games, and the two seasons before that, they won 67. -P- Freddy Sanchez will miss some time with blurriness in his eye. The blurriness...
Pedro Alvarez Hearings Likely to Drag on Forever
Ugh. Looks like there's no way Pedro Alvarez will play winter ball. [Bud] Selig finished his testimony, though [Labor lawyer Dan] Halem will continue in his when the hearing picks back up on Sept. 23, which was the earliest date that [arbitrator Shyam] Das had available to return to the case....
Pedro Alvarez saga not ending anytime soon
The Pedro Alvarez arbitration was scheduled for today, and I figured we'd have a resolution to this shortly. Apparently not: Baseball commissioner Bud Selig was the leadoff witness Wednesday on the first day of testimony in a complicated grievance filed by the players' association after...
